Progress 04.08.2023
Hello all!
So apparently, Pateron derped, and there are many declines or marked as fraudulent this month, as they changed payment processors, apparently. I'm not sure whether they have sent the notification to everyone, but they basically told the creators to tell you to check did your payment decline, and if you are, contact the card issuer/bank and tell them it's a valid payment. Anyway...
Update 37 was sent to testing and proofreading, so I'll write a day or two and probably start rendering update 38 Monday at the latest, maybe even Sunday, depending on how annoyed I get.
And then the fantasy writing. It's going okay. I just need to write on the laptop because the big computer has too many distractions. The first update is done, closing in halfway to the second update. If I get four updates writing buffer, I'll be happy. And no TRS previews cause spoilers.
I'm slightly annoyed with the lack of assets. Namely boats, in this case. There are modern boats that are decently new but "historical?" Mostly pirate ships or ships I can't use as is. So I have to think about how I do certain things.
Now this is kind of related to the story. It was an idea that came to my mind during writing. There are some darker themes around during the story, but that isn't exactly anything new either, considering the backstory I've given with Garrett for Terminus Reach.

its weird mine declined then it went through on its own a few days later
Probably enough reports to the card issuer/bank and they marked the transaction safe for all in their system. But glad that it is getting sorted out.
it seem they realy messed up August, as you say some were declined others that were turned off got charged? mine for you is fine paid through paypal.
Yeah lot of were declined, and some transactions were marked a fraudulent by the banks. Assuming it is due to the payment processor changing, or the payment processor changing some operations to other location, which raises red flags with banks and card issuers.
i had 3 attempts refused
I'm being a polite here and say it has been a cluster fuck so far. And I hope they sort their shit out sooner rather than later.
Happened to me. Half my subs was canceled even though I told the bank it was valid. Patreon never tried to resubmit it. Still can't get subbed back to one dev yet for some reason 😕
They are working on the issues. Sucks when it happens for all parties.
